The Strasbourg players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Havre AC recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat.  They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Havre AC's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

Manager Patrick Vieira will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 27 of their 32 games.  

They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Stade de la Meinau, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Metz players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Rennes.  In that game they recorded 35 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 21 shots on goal.  

Manager László Bölöni will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end.   Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.  

In front of goal, Georges Mikautadze has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 7 times in that run of games.
